Nothing wrong with Sportsters at all. My sister loves hers....

Imagine if he had gone in there with the intent to buy the Sportster; he probably would have left with just a t-shirt and a key ring.

You’re the customer, tell the salesperson to go f*** themselves and buy a Street Glide somewhere else.

Now that you have folded like a lawn chair, maybe spend some time on the Sporty. They’re great bikes and if you don’t lowside it in some grass clippings…maybe think about a bigger bike next year.

HAHA, grass clippings... no you didn't, did you? You did! LOL, cross thread points awarded. Extra point awarded for the necro thread reference.

Obviously graduated from Alabama, as he let the salesman make the decisions for him.

So now I’m stuck with what they told me I should buy instead of actually sealing me what I wanted! I talked to the GM about the situation and he was no help. He just tried to put me on a street bob with a higher payment so I’m just stuck on what I should do next

I once had a very similar experience. I was determined that I wanted a panhead and nothing else. The salesman(Western Auto) just wasn't cooperating and my financial advisor(dad) told me a 3 speed Schwinn Stingray was all I was going to get for the money I had to work with. It was probably for the best, as the elementary school I was going to didn't really have a parking space for the panhead.
